Chapter 765: Senior Brother and Junior Sister Met, Wreck the LI Family (2)

He rested his arms behind his head, walking with an arrogant swagger. “I didn’t expect you to actually be an actress. I even heard your name while dining at a restaurant.”

Si Fuqing replied, “If you can’t say anything nice, keep your mouth shut.”

Lu Xingheng fell silent.

“Teacher Si’s ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ is truly a hit,” Ning Zhi said with a smile. “The online buzz is off the charts. Congratulations, Teacher Si. What’s your next project?”

“I’m still considering it,” Si Fuqing responded. “I might shoot a movie.”

After “Crossing the Demon Realm” became a sensation, scripts flooded in for her.

Sang Yanqing had been extremely busy sorting through valuable ones for her.

“This year’s three major television awards should be no problem for Teacher Si,” Ning Zhi nodded. “March will see the Golden Flower Awards, but its credibility is often questioned.”

They chatted as they walked out through the back door.

Si Fuqing suddenly stopped.

She spotted LI Yanchen’s secretary.

This time, the secretary wasn’t alone; he had brought a team of bodyguards.

They were all tall, each over six feet in height.

Ning Zhi also recognized the secretary and was stunned. “Isn’t that Bai Jinxi…”

“Yesterday, President LI invited the main team of ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ to dinner, which Miss Si declined. Today, President LI is inviting just Miss Si,” the secretary approached. “Miss Si, please.”

“I said I wouldn’t go. Can’t you understand human language?” Si Fuqing cast a glance at him. “Where do you get your confidence from? Give me some, and I might just reach the sky.”

Lu Xingheng was speechless.

Whose tongue was sharper?

“Miss Si, playing hard to get might be fun once or twice, but three or four times, and the man will get tired,” the secretary’s face darkened. “Overdo it, and you’ll regret it later.”

If it weren’t for her so-called “divine beauty,” LI Yanchen wouldn’t spare her a glance.

Many actresses dreamed of marrying into wealthy families.

The secretary, having worked for LI Yanchen for a long time, had seen many actresses try and fail to ensnare him.

If they had been submissive from the start, they wouldn’t end up with nothing.

Si Fuqing crossed her arms. “Playing hard to get? The LI family is enough to make me play hard to get?”

The secretary sneered. “Do you think you can still bargain? Our President LI is one of the top young talents in Sijiu City. What, you are aiming for the Duke of Muston?”

The Duke of Muston, at twenty-nine, was still unmarried and was ranked by an informal list as the “most desirable man to marry worldwide.”

Though the list was unofficial, he was indeed very popular.

Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, unhurried. “If he dares, I’d break his legs.”

Meanwhile, Raphael, walking towards Sijiu City First Hospital, sneezed loudly.

The head guard beside him, thinking Raphael had been affected by the cold weather, quickly offered him a coat.

“I’m not cold at all. Someone must be thinking of me,” Raphael declined, his tone light. “My little junior sister told me about a custom here in Great Xia. One sneeze means someone is thinking of you, two sneezes mean someone is cursing you, three—”

Before he could finish, he sneezed again.

The head guard was speechless.

Raphael immediately changed his tune. “Two sneezes mean thinking of you again and again.”

The head guard didn’t dare say a word.

He could only assume the Duke was always right.

“Sijiu City is quite large, much bigger than when I last visited. Great Xia lives up to its name, developing so quickly.” Raphael cleared his throat. “Let’s go. Don’t reveal my identity. Just say I’m a foreign fan, here to support her career with some gold.”

“Rest assured, Your Highness,” the head guard quickly responded. “I’ve prepared a hundred gold bars.”

Raphael nodded and continued walking.

At the hospital’s back door, the atmosphere was tense.

The secretary frowned. “So, Miss Si is still refusing?”

Si Fuqing’s fox-like eyes narrowed, and she smiled slightly. “Don’t just ask me questions. Where does your confidence come from?”

Lu Xingheng couldn’t help but laugh.

“Since Miss Si is so stubborn, we’ll have to ‘escort’ you,” the secretary’s face turned cold. “Miss Si, you wouldn’t want to make a scene and end up trending on Weibo, right?”

“Crossing the Demon Realm” was at its peak. Many were eager to seize any slip-up from Si Fuqing to drag her down from her pedestal.

He believed Si Fuqing wouldn’t lack a sense of the bigger picture.
